Recently I noticed in email from the daily crontab script that my LAN segment router's ethernet address changed over that weekend. Thought that was a nice thing to know. Afterwards my de0 started acting up. Problem has been recurring for weeks now. Rebooted hoping something was amis in the ARP tables due to the router swap. No luck. Built a new kernel from CTM src-2.2.0519 this afternoon. No improvement. dmesg says: de0 <Digital 21040 Ethernet> rev 35 int a irq 10 on pci0:13 de0: ZNYX ZX312 21040 [10Mb/s] pass 2.3 de0: address 00:c0:95:ec:91:aa ... changing root device to sd0a de0: enabling 10baseT port de0: abnormal interrupt: receive process stopped de0: link down: cable problem? Think at this point I was sitting at the console and network connections had halted, so I typed "ifconfig de0 down" then "ifconfig de0 up" and it resumed. The first message below was spawned by the "ifconfig de0 down" command. de0: enabling 10baseT port de0: system error: reserved #7 That #7 pops up a lot, but the next was a new message: de0: abnormal interrupt: receive process stopped de0: abnormal interrupt: receive process stopped de0: abnormal interrupt: receive process stopped de0: abnormal interrupt: receive process stopped de0: abnormal interrupt: receive process stopped de0: abnormal interrupt: receive process stopped de0: link down: cable problem? Other systems on the same cable segment aren't having any problems, but they aren't FreeBSD. Will probably change out the card with an ISA NE2000 on Friday and see if that helps. Does this look like a hardware problem? Seems the de0 code has been pretty solid and this card has been working well for almost a year. Or is this a MB problem? -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
